A lot of people get enough calcium via diet and I prefer to get any extra from sources like bone in sardines. I also monitor my vitmain D levels and supplement when needed.

Thank you for your time and article!

Great question. I experimented with this a lot and by my last pregnancy, this is what worked best for me: I took the slow release mag glycinate and worked up slowly on dose, and consumed a lot of canned sardines for the calcium, omega-3s and protein. I know they aren’t often a favorite food but I taught myself to love them during pregnancy because they are so beneficial (and inexpensive).

You have just given me hope! Been taking a small amount of Calm right before bed, fall asleep, wide awake in three hours. Will start to follow your suggestion and regimen. Thank you!

That is definitely not the intended reaction. I’d definitely back down some and see if that helps and consult a doc if you have any special concerns.

Thank you for sharing your precious wisdom with us.

Following your advice – I bought Natural Vitality Natural Calm. I take half a tea spoon a night.
It has made me extremely tired. I feel dizzy and want to sleep all day. I like the fact that I am more relaxed and dont get stressed easily however i cant function properly. Please help 🙂

Hi, there is something else you can try to help with eczema, it could be autoimmune related. My daughter suffered from it until I balanced her immune system and it went all away. I gave her sterols & sterolins (look for a product called Moducare, it is very important, it helps to balance your T-cells i.e. TH1 & TH2. It is a plant extract and normally in green leafy plants but you have to take in a whole lot to just get enough. Heat and cold destroys sterols and sterolins), and immune supporting vitamins like magnesium, zinc, selenium, omega 3, probiotics, vit D. You do not need to over do on vitamins to try and get results. Make sure you understand what the daily dosage is for a child her age otherwise you could end up with other problems. Make sure her ferritin and fe-iron is normal when giving magnesium, I think it depends which form you give. I heard that Mag Citrate can mess around with it. I use Magnesium Taurate, I was told it is good for cells and can pass through the blood brain barrier. My kids had iron problems, but when I gave it to my son and had a blood test done, his ferritin was back up to 20 from 12, his Fe-iron dropped from over 130 down to 110.

I’m on a low carb diet for the blood sugar, if that helps. Thanks, Kitty

Mama, I am currently taking magnesium capsules from a company called MgBright that are made to not cause bowel problems and it is true – I take 6 a day for severe cramps and spasms in my legs. But I sometimes still get the cramps and spasms. If I wanted to use the spray magnesium, would I have to stop the capsules?
Would that mean too much magnesium if I continued to take both? I would appreciate your opinion or suggestion. I would much prefer a topical rather than an internal product as long as it works. Thank you.
